The campaign involves long standing sleeper cells that the allied spy service has activated to hinder Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine by waging a secret war behind Russian lines.

March 5, 2020 by Jack Murphy

I wasn’t going to wade into this one but since I’ve been asked, I’ll offer a few thoughts. I’m going to caveat this […]

June 17, 2019 by Jack Murphy

Night fell over the desert. U.S. Air Force aircraft soared overhead, lowering their ramps and emptying their cargo into the night sky. Vehicles were heavy dropped on pallets while operators assigned to 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta parachuted out into the darkness, conducting a military free-fall jump.
